Sunday morning 2nd service info:

Junior High
2008-2009 New Testament Overview

Currently, students are dismissed to this class during the second service ONLY.  Don't miss this great Sunday morning Bible experience!

We are going through the entire New Testament during the 2008-2009 school year. It is an aggressive undertaking to be sure! Each week the junior high kids are asked to read before class and they are provided a memory verse from each book. Candy, prizes and a solid foundation of faith await kids who participate!

Troy and Karen Hackett took the class through the Gospels. Now Alan and Laura Minchew are teaching Acts - Philippians. In the spring the McInturff's, Bouchers and Hacketts will teach the remainder of the New Testament in this whirlwind tour of Jesus' story, his teachings and the amazing first century church.

We believe that Jr. High is a crucial time in a student's spiritual development. We have a four-phase process (Accept, Connect, Serve, and Lead) to guide them as they strive to become more like Christ. We help guide youth through the process of accepting the grace and truth of Jesus, connecting with others, serving in ministry, and becoming leaders.

Our desire at Harpeth Community Church is for every Jr. High student to understand the "basics" of Christianity when they enter High School. To assist with this process, students experience an interactive survey of both the Old and New Testaments in our Sunday morning classes.

We believe that students need to connect with each other in a safe and encouraging environment on a weekly basis. Because of this, we have girls and guys small groups that meet on Wednesday evenings. Small groups are where bible study, discussion, accountability, and prayer take place. We also strongly believe in developing student leaders, so these small groups are led by 10th-12th grade students, each having an adult overseer, which we call a "coach."

Our Jr. High students are involved in local and regional missions projects on an on-going basis. 


Leading isn't just for adults!! Jr. High students are encouraged to serve, especially in the Children's ministry. Whether it's assisting a teacher on a Sunday morning or leading a group of kids during VBS, our students are learning about the importance of leadership!
